I have a Decco 65 in my office setup. It's a great piece of kit for the price. The onboard dac in the Peachtree is on a similar plane as the DacMagic. For the sake of simplicity and $$$ I'd personally go mac into the decco and put your money into new speakers you've listened to and love. If you want to move up a notch check out Peachtree's Grand X1 or a Naim SuperUniti.
What would you upgrade?
Hello, fellow audio enthusiasts. I'd like to get some opinions on what your next move would be if you had the following gear:
Signal Path:
MacBook Pro > DacMagic Plus > Dared Sl2000a or Bravo Audio Ocean v2 > Peachtree Decco 65 (pre mode) > Emotiva UPA-200 > Focal SW800 Sub > Focal 807VW or Totem Rainmakers
Clearly a lot of room for improvement here. Where would you start and what would be the reason?
Nothing is untouchable except the MacBook Pro.
Like the idea of towers/monoblocks.
$5000 budget for upgrades.
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide!
